"Damn Yellow Composite." In
wildflower identification, the
Asteraceae family is so large (1100
genera and 20,000
species), that specific
identification in the field can be so difficult as to not be worth it. You can figure out it's an asteraceae easily enough: most members are
composite (they have both
ray and
disc flowers). You can usually identify the color,
yellow, and the family, and that's it. (Unless you're lucky enough to have figured out you've got a
sunflower)
Sometimes attributed to Lady Bird Johnson.
